Event Details

Startup Weekend is an intense 54 hour event that brings together a vast array of entrpreneurs, technologists, marketing, PR... as well as artists, visionaries, and other wild cards. 100-200 people in a room with time and resources to make something happen is a fantastic opportunity to pursue the idea you've kept in your back pocket.

Please join us for an open forum prior to Startup Weekend LA3 on Nov 20-22 where Startup Weekend veterans address common questions attendees have about what works, what issues teams face, and where you take it after the weekend is over.

This is an amazing value to those who attend and on top of it, its FREE! This is the best way to get the most out of a Startup Weekend and be one step ahead of the pack and on your way to starting the next big thing!
